Summary
Sean Teare said Harris County is running its own probe into Tuesday’s Magnolia Park shooting and urged anyone with video or information to submit it, saying even small details could prove pivotal.
No body-camera or dashboard-camera footage exists, Sylvia Garcia said, leaving investigators to rely heavily on witness accounts and any privately captured video of the encounter.
Garcia said acting ICE director David Venturella told her Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and his brother were not the intended targets; agents were looking for someone with a final removal order they believed had entered the van.
DHS says Araujo tried to run down agents in unmarked vehicles before an ICE officer fatally shot him, while his family disputes that account, sharpening scrutiny of what happened.
